Calculate the temperature change when 500J of heat is supplied to 100g of water

A.

12.1oC

B.

2.1oC

C.

1.2oC

D.

0.1oC

Correct answer is C

2000cm3 of a gas is collected at 27oC and 700mmHg. What is the volume of the gas at standard temperature and pressure?

A.

1896.5cm3

B.

1767.3cm3

C.

1676.3cm3

D.

1456.5cm3

Correct answer is C

\(V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_2}\)

\(V_2 = \frac{700 \times 2000 \times 273}{760 \times 300}\)

Two metals P and Q are heated through the same temperature difference. If the ratio of the linear expansivities of P to Q is 2:3 and the ratio of their
length is 3: 4 respectively, the ratio of the increase in lengths of P to Q is

A.

1:2

B.

2:1

C.

8:9

D.

9:8

Correct answer is A

P: \(\frac{\alpha h \theta}{\alpha h \theta}\)

\(\frac{2 \times 3 \times \theta}{3 \times 4 \times \theta}\)

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
